There are 2 routes to visit Spiti located in Himachal: via Shimla and via Manali.
The Shimla route, taking the Hindustan-Tibet highway, goes: Shimla–Narkanda–Rampur–Powari–Spillow–Khab Bridge–Nako–Chango–Sumdo–Tabo–Kaza. Spiti Valley starts after Sumdo. This route remains accessible all year.
The Manali route goes: Manali–Rohtang pass–Gramphu–Chhatru–Chota Dhara–Batal–Kunzum Pass–Losar–Kaza, and is only accessible between June-October.
Starting from Delhi/Chandigarh, a minimum of 6-10 days is needed to explore the mystical Spiti Valley and its offerings. It takes about 3-5 days to reach and come back from Spiti depending on the route. So you can dedicate the remaining days to enjoy the striking and fierce beauty of nature in Spiti.
You should choose your wardrobe depending on when you’re visiting Spiti. The staple items that you’ll need all year round are:
- Thermal inners and a light fleece jacket
- Socks, gloves, and a monkey cap or balaclava – all woolen or fleece material
- Proper shoes with enough insulation for comfortable long journeys
- Hat, sunglasses, sun protection cream and lotion
Apart from these, choose clothes that can be worn in layers so that they can be removed or added depending on temperature. Light woolens will suffice between June-August. But March-June or September-November will require heavy woolens. Although if you’re travelling in winter between December-April, you need to pack very carefully to protect yourself against the merciless cold and winds.
Being at such high altitudes, ATMs in Spiti are not frequent and mostly non-functioning. Places like Kaza, Tabo, Sangla, and Kalpa have ATMs, they’re likely to be out of cash or disfunctional. It is best to withdraw cash from Shimla or Manali itself as cashflow in ATMs is very stable, or Reckong Peo which has 6-7 ATMs.

Permits for vehicles are also required for people coming in from Manali to cross Rohtang Pass. For Indian nationals, a government identity proof like passport/voter ID/Aadhar is enough.
